SALE OF TYBEE ISLAND.
IT'S PURCHASE BY A SAVANNAH
SYNDICATE FOR $4,000.

A Stock Company with a Capital of
100000 to be Organized to Develop
the Property What the Syndicate
Proposes to Do-The Savannah and
Tybee Road.
A syndicate of capitalists has purchased
from Capt d. G. Purse the unsold part of
Tybee Island formerly owned by the Sore
vens, but which was bought by Capt Purse
little over year ago The syndicate is
composed of S. P. Hamilton, j. j. Nc
Donough, Herman Myers, John c. Row
land, Henry Blum, j. II. Estill, A. Vetsburg,
j. P. Williams and others.
The purchase it is understood, carries
with it certain interests in the Savannah
and Tybee railroad. The price paid was
$4,000. Although the papers have not yet
been perfected, the sale has been negotiated
and the property will be transferred in a
day or two
1t is understood TO be the intention of the
new owners to Improve the island by thor
ough drainage and by the opening of
new roads. The Ocean House, which is
included in the purchase, will either be re
built or a new hotel win be erected. To
carry out the plans of the syndicate stock
company with a capital Of 100000 is
to be organized and the stock will be put
upon the market
The purchase includes the Kings landing
tract on the north end Of the island, but
does not include the Tilton tract of ten
acres, which is now owned by parties in
New York, nor the EStil tract of about 300
acres. The United States government also
owns about twenty five acres, making i'll
allabout $50 acres which are not included in
the purchase.
The development of the island as proposed
by its new owners and the completion of the
Savannah and Tybee railroad will give to
Georgia one OF the most accessible and beau
tiful seaside resorts on the South Atlantic
coast. As soon as the property has been
transferred and the company has been
organized to develop and improve it, work
will be commenced 1t is probable that in
stead of remodelng the Ocean House new
and modern hotel viii be built.

MRS. CAMPBELL DIVORCED.
She Gets Her 1O-Year-Old Daughter
and $50 Week Alimony.

! She Gets Her 1O-Year-Old Daughter
and $50 a Week Alimony.
After ten years of litigation the Campbell
divorce case has at last been settled. Mrs
/ Campbell was granted an absolute divorce
/ from her husband in New York this week,
and was awarded the custody of her child,
daughter, now 10 years old and $50 week
alimony
! The history of the case is well known in
! Savannah. Mrs. Campbell came here with
her husband six years ago, and up to the
past winter has spent much of her time
here. Mr.. Campbell is a wealthy wallpaper
manufacturer on FOTty-second street in
New York. Twelve years ago he and
Annie Louise Churchill were married. Mr.
| Campbell was reported to be worth half a
million dollars, and the household expenses
of himself and his wife during the first years
| Of their married life were about S25, 900
year. In lS17they had some trouble which
| resulted in the breaking up of the household
and the institution of a suit by him against
her for absolute divorce. That suit was
sent to referee, who found in favor of
Mrs. Campbell. Then followed reconcilia-
ton.
Mr.. Campbell aud his wife lived together
again until December. 1881, when they came
to savannah, and while here they quar-
relied and separated. Mrs. Campbell began
proceedings against her husband here for
abandonment and procured a Judgment
against him by which he was directed to
give her $4,000 year alimony She had
him arrested and compelled to furnish bail
for his appearance Mrs. Campbell re
manned here for some time at the Pulaski
House and her husband returned North and
Instituted proceedings for divorce.
The case dragged along and appeals We're
taken from orders of the court until finally
the referee found that the husbands
charges had not been proven, but that those
of the wife had, and that she therefore was
entitled to divorce and the custody of their
child. The referee died soon after this, and
another was appointed to decide what
amount Of alimony should be paid to Mrs
Campbell. He found that she was entitled
to $50 week. She appealed in order
that this sum should be increased, set
ting up the fact that her husband
was a wealthy man, but the appellate
court declined to change the amount.
The court decided that Mrs Campbell has
the privilege of remarrying but denied the
privilege TO her ex-husband
A day or two ago there was recorded in
the Registrars office in New York an in
strument by which Mrs Campbell releases
her dover right to her husbands estate for
81, 500 Another instrument was recorded
by which he in turn agrees to pay his wife
for the support of herself and child the sum
of $50 per week for their natural lives, and
gives as security for such payment a mort
gage TO her on property on FOrty-second
street. In case of his wishing to sell any of
the mortgaged property at any time, she
agrees to sign a satisfaction mortgage after
he has deposited 100000 with the Union
Trust Company as security for the weekly
allowance

Fine Work at New Orleans

New ORLEANS, La, April 2S.-Ladies
day was Jonah to the locals, who lost
their first game to Charleston to-day. There
were 5000 people present. Neither side
punched hits, but the punching of two errors
in the seventh inning gave Charleston its
only run. Before this Charleston could not
even get to second base, pitcher and catcher
watching bases so well. Four times the
locals died at third and failed to reach the
plate once. There was some magnif-
cent fielding on both sides particularly
by Glenn. The game was most
exciting to the end. Charleston got four
hits, stole five bases and made two errors.
New Orleans made six hits, three being
doubles, stole three bases and made three
errors. There were no passed balls or wild
pitches. Dronby and Childs and Powell and
Wells were the batteries. Each pitcher
struck out three men, and the only base on
balls was made off Dronby, The game oc-
cupied less than one hour and twenty five
minutes

NOT THE RIGHT PARTY.
Case Against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company Dismissed

Case Against the Western Union Tele-
graph Company Dismissed.
A suit brought by Robert j. Nagle for
$4,000 damages against the Western Union
Telegraph Company came up in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday. In March,
1884, Western Union messenger boy re-
ported TO Manager B. F. Dillon that he had
been knocked down and robbed of three dis
patches. The boy gave description of his
assailant and Detective WetherhOrn was EN-
ployed to find the man, and after working
on the case while reported that he thought
Maggie was the party wanted.
Some time atterward the messenger boy
had Maggie arrested for assault and battery
The matter was taken before the grand jury
of the Chatham County Superior
Court at the next term and
asrue bill was found. On the trial of the
case the boy failed to identify Nagle and
the State abandoned the prosecution. Suit
was brought in the City Court for $1,000
damages, but was removed to the United
States Court by the telegraph company
When the testimony for the plaintiff was
closed yesterday the defendant moved that
the court should direct verdict in favor of
the telegraph company. The grounds for
the motion We're that the plaintiff had failed
to show that Nagle's arrest was made by
direction of the defendant, and further that
1t had not been shown that the
prosecution in the State Court
was malicious. Before Judge Speer gave
an opinion on the point the plaintiffs coun-
sci consented TO have the case dismissed.
| Mr.. b. F. Dillon, formerly manager of the
| Western Union office in Savannah, but now
the superintendent of the Florida division,
was witness for the defense, but was put
on the stand by the plaintiff

FOGARTY'S BOND FIXED.
He will be Released on $4,000 Bail
The Case Argued by Attorneys.

Four o'clock yesterday afternoon was fixed
by Judge Adams as the hour for determin-
ing the amount of the new bond to be given
for the release of young Thomas Forgarty
who has been confined in Jail since his trial
The original bond was for $500, but it was
dissolved when FogaTty went back to Jail
on last Friday night When the matter
came up yesterday Solicitor General duBg-
non moved that the bond be increased
The first bond was given before an exami-
nation had been held in the case, he stated,
and added that the court had the right
to assume that if the defendant was not
innocent that there might he some justifica-
ton. Since then an examination has been
held and the facts showed that the shooting
of Kietfer was entirely without provoca-
ton.
The solicitor claimed that 50, 800 was in
adequate for the new bond He did not de-
sire to impose any undue hardship ON the
prisoners friends, but he wanted to have
Fogarty in court next Thursday.
DIR Meldrim, in opposing an increase of
the amount of the bond, remarked that the
salient features of the case We're known to
his honor before the examination as well as
since. 1t is pretty well understood, he con
tinued that the first bond was for s., 500
To increase the bond now would be to indi-
rectiy suggest that there is something more
grave and terrible about the case than was
formerly believed and the effect would be
to prejudice the public mind against the
defendant. The prisoners father is a poor
Woodworking man, counsel added, and
to require excessive bail would be to keep
the defendant in Jail when he should be at
home where ne could receive the attentions of
his family when sick. Mr. Meldrim con
cluded by saying that the defendant had not
shown any reluctance TO stand the trial, and
it was not to be assumed that he would run
away.
When both attorneys had finished Judge
Adams said that he would require a bond
for $1,000 to be given. The bond was drawn
up, but Fogarty was not released last night.
